Social Question

Is the word "no" not in your vocabulary?

My wife says i have a hard time dealing with the word no. She may be correct. Sags. have a hard time with rejection and no just adds fuel to the fire. I like the word no, but i do not like the meaning of the word no. This may have come from my childhood, when honestly, my parents gave me just about everything i asked for. Was I a spoiled brat? No. not then and not now. Question: Do you or a friend or relative have a hard time dealing with the word “no”? Am I alone in this situation?

It is in my vocabulary, but it is hard to find it, in general, by me. It is not under N most of the times.
What i mean, is that it is pretty hard for me to say no when people ask me things.
If my boss asks me to go to a certain place to join the work on a project, and i would rather not (for whatever reason) i just can not say it (most of the times).

Great Caesar’s ghost, I say “no” all the time. People never like it because they think whenever they ask for something especially something they really want, it should be “yes” all the time—. I have to remind them, that when you ask most of the time it is 50/50 and if you were not prepared to hear the lower 50% don’t ask, find a way to do it yourself. Aside from 50/50 you have only 3 choices, yeas, no, and wait.

I would say as I get older I am less tolerant of being told no. As an adult I rarely ask for something that is unreasonable, in my humble opinion, so no is not going to go over very well with me. The exception would be if I was asking someone for a personal favor, if they don’t want to, or don’t have the time, no is perfectly acceptable.
